Remove composers with no surviving music[edit]

I added some slight formatting to indicate troubadors whose music does not survive (it's no fun to read through a long composer bio just to learn you can't hear their music!), but I am considering deleting them. Otherwise, couldn't the entire list of troubadors just be copied to this page?

I deleted the talk entry before mine because it didn't make sense; looked like someone pasted a homework question?

I agree with keeping the names of the composers whose music didn't survived. They still were influencial for the History of the music in a way or another.82.154.84.92 (talk) 01:26, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page name[edit]

On 9 April 2008, this page was moved from List of Medieval composers to Medieval composers, the only ever edit by user 1piolin. To have consistency with other similiar lists, I suggest to move this page back. See also: Special:WhatLinksHere/Medieval composers. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:41, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Byzantine hymnographers and user 101.160.148.192[edit]

When I first got to this article, a few days ago, I was very surprised not to find any of the most important Byzantine hymnographers in it, especially Romanos the Melodist who is such an important name. Of course I immediately inserted Romanos the Melodist. Then reading through the history of the article I noticed that Romanos the Melodist and other Byzantine hymnographers such as John of Damascus and Cosmas of Maiuma had already been included for about 4 days between December 23 and December 26, 2011. The user who inserted and erased them was one user 101.160.148.192. This same user also "worked" on articles Alfonso II of Aragon and Planh (and others) and the same pattern shows: he first inserts information, which seems valid, and then he erases it all. Weird.

The lost music of Romanos the Melodist[edit]

I've inserted Romanos the Melodist in italics as no notated Byzantine melody can be attributed to him with certainty. However Egon Wellesz in "A history of Byzantine music and hymnography" suggests some of his melodies may have survived in the tradition and may have ended up being notated when the ekphonetic notation began developping.

Link for Andrea Stefani[edit]

The link goes to an Albanian newspaper and I can't find Stefani's name in Wikipedia except for the journalist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.190.94.110 (talk) 20:43, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

images[edit]

Does anyone else feel that the images, which take up much more space than anything else, are superfluous for the list? I think it'd be better just to have names, dates, links, nationality, and maybe a short comment rather than the images. Thanks! -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 22:45, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The place for the images is on the individual pages for each composer – where I guess they already are in most cases. --Deskford (talk) 22:51, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chretien[edit]

Anybody know why Chretien is counted here as a composer with extant musical works? Refs please! Redheylin (talk) 14:22, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
